I kept the image a lot more simple this time, but it should suit us well. have fun. I expect to see fish entered tomorrow. I'm still surprised to see 40 people show up for a fly fishing only contest. (I guess the free TFO CLouser rod helps a little). http://txfishes.com/contest/officialimage.jpgenjoy!

I was flabbergasted at the action I got on an orange clouser I tied up in preparation for this. Fishing was pretty good on other stuff, but they went nuts for that thing. Stopped by Cabelas today and got some more lead eyes, prepainted with the eyeball on them. So if I catch and photograph a couple thousand sunfish I get a new rod

Seems like I know a few who like to catch some fish before going to work.
Have fun with this stuff.

Ok, I'm out- going to get a bunch of LMB, bluegill, greenies, and longears with the occasional spotted bass thrown in. I might even get a gar. wish me luck!
I feel insane getting up hours before school starts!

So I know some people who caught a few this morning... Not saying any names, but you might guess  Anyway, a couple more questions: 1. Can we use 2 clousers where one is a "dropper?" 2. Due to the recent discussions. What is the official txfishes view on chumming?

What is the official txfishes view on chumming? it sez in the rulz : ƒ All fish in this contest are to be caught using standard fly fishing techniques although it appears to work well for some, I don't think its considered "standard fly fishing technique"

I don't think everyone agrees with you. Let's call it out so there are NO questions.

I'd call a dropper a standard fly fishing technique I got a few today. Just got back from fishing the raging torrent I call my secret spot. It rose 2 feet in 30 minutes before I got the heck out of there!  1 point  300 points Yay!

Obviously old age and treachery is getting a late start behind youth and vigor.

no chumming (come on, get your hands out of that bucket)
